It... It's impossible, my king!
Our forces are feeble!
And now, without joining forces with Lü Shi or Jie Shi,
there is no army in Qin that can help us!
Is that right?
Do you have an idea, Zheng?
That blowgun!
Doesn't that belong to that old man?!
It doesn't matter! I got it now!
Lemme see it for a sec!
No! It's mine!
There is a way.
Did you say something, my lord?
Th-There is a way!
Just one...
A great army not joined with Lü Shi or Jie Shi!
I've been thinking about that since I arrived here.
The chances are low, but we have no choice but to go meet with them.
The Mountain People,
and the one who governs them, the Mountain King!
Ancient China.
After learning that the era of saints had ended,
human desire was unleashed.
And a storm of violent wars erupted for 500 years...
until over one hundred states were reduced to merely seven.
And now, a wind of great history gusts from the state of Qin in the far West.
This is the tumultuous tale of a nameless boy and a young king who brought the warring era to its end!

The Terrifying Mountain People
Hey, hey, Zheng!
I've never heard of a Mountain King,
but by that, you mean there's a country in the mountains with a king, like the State of Qin?
No, not quite.
As you know, the Mountain People live in separate tribes,
but because it mutually benefits them all, they've also formed an alliance.
The one who represents that alliance and leads it is the one we call the Mountain King.
Hey, Zheng.
Some guys've started to fall behind.
Quit lagging behind, you guys!
We're not out for a walk!
Wh-What're you talking about, Xin?!
Don't you have any idea how exhausted we are?!
Like I care!
If you're slow, you're slow!
If you keep dragging your feet, that Chengjiao bastard's gonna end up as king!
Damn youngster...
But we do need to hurry...!
We need to have our king meet the Mountain King as soon as possible!
And also...
there may still be pursuers!
Stay vigilant!
Chancellor Jie has the highest of expectations for us!
We must find that boy, no matter where he may be!
Yes, sir!
What?!
Ma-Majiu Soldiers...
What a great view...
But anyhow, Zheng,
how do you know the way to the Mountain King's castle all the way out here in the mountains?
Duke Mu's summer retreat was made by the Mountain People, directly in between the capital of Qin, Xianyang, and the Mountain King's castle.
So I know the general direction it's in.
If we rely on the occasional landmarks we see on the way, we should reach the Mountain King's castle.
I get it...
Hey! Pull yourself together!
What happened?!
I... I'm all right.
Someone lend him a shoulder.
No!
Those who cannot keep up can descend the mountain and wait at Duke Mu's summer retreat!
My lord?
Understand, everyone?!
Be fully aware that anyone who delays our march...
should immediately withdraw!
P-Please, wait!
If we do that, most of our members will soon withdraw!
We have no choice.
As Xin said,
if Chengjiao takes the throne, everything will be for naught!
We must hurry!
But then we'll have no one left to guard the king!
Against these terrifying Mountain People,
we need every soldier we can get to protect the king!
Terrifying?
If the Mountain People were to seriously attack us,
we wouldn't stand a chance whether everyone were here or not!
Hang on, what do you mean "terrifying Mountain People"?!
Aren't those Mountain People... the ones who protected Duke Mu 400 years ago?
They sounded like pretty nice guys.
I see. You two don't know the story of the Majiu Soldiers.
Majiu Soldiers?
( Flags - Qin )
It was 400 years ago...
The broad-minded king of our State of Qin...
gave liquor to the Mountain People who had eaten a horse he owned.
I know! That's Duke Mu, ain't it?!
Yes. It was the 13th year Duke Mu had been king.
( Flags - Jin )
There had been a country called Jin that was then separate from our country.
A separate country called Jin?
Yes.
At the time, that State of Jin, which extended to the east of our State of Qin,
was undergoing a severe famine.
It was an enemy state, but to save the people suffering from hunger,
Duke Mu sent them food supplies.
Oh! I knew that Duke Mu would come through!
However, the next year, it was Qin that suffered from a massive famine.
When Duke Mu then sought aid,
Jin invaded our country.
Huh?! How the hell could they do that?!
This, of course, enraged Duke Mu as well,
and he sent in his own troops to fight them.
But with the lack of food supplies due to the famine,
our Qin soldiers lost strength,
and Jin's army surrounded Duke Mu.
Oh no! That's really bad, Duke Mu!
It was truly a desperate situation.
But at that moment... they appeared!
The people we've traditionally called the "Majiu Soldiers"...
300 Mountain People enveloped by a strange thirst for blood.
Mountain People?
Why?!
They had incurred a debt towards Duke Mu.
The debt of the horse and the liquor.
I get it. So that's why they're called the Majiu Soldiers!
( Majiu = Horse Liquor )
So what's the deal? They really are incredible, then!
It's true that they have a profound sense of gratitude.
But...
the Majiu Soldiers' way of fighting...
was said to be so ferocious that it struck fear even into the Qin soldiers, their allies.
What's more, with just 300 people,
they drove out several thousand enemy soldiers.
